I can produce an ipad viable file from a retail DVD in ten minutes or less, including conversion and transfer, using commodity hardware and free software.
You are kidding right? I have returned many things because 'i didnt like it'. How is it any different from 'it didnt fit my use case', or 'it was inaccurately described on what it can do' ?
I am not over 50 and cash is often a cleaner exchange. The goddamn pin pads have me answer up to 6 questions. Debit, credit, correct amount, coupon, car wash, participate in a survey, cash back etc. It goes on and on. My goddamn ATM makes me say yes or no to if i want coupons on my receipt before it will give it to me. There is no way to opt out of answering. Cash can be a lot easier.
The bank charges money for coin handling, lets add that fee for people who pay with or expect change too. Or you can do what every smart business person does and bakes the COST OF DOING BUSINESS into your pricing.
The problem is the breadth and scope of how far these patents go. Not being able to profit from video i shot using a consumer grade camera is an unconscionable consequence.
The problem is, the DCMA shouldn't be settling this, the MARKET should be. If i default on a subsidized phone, its a civil matter, take it up with the courts.
And if you think people save extra vitriol for women you are a fool. People are mean to each other for various reasons, being a women is merely a vector they exploit. Same as being overweight, retarded, glasses, awkward, ugly etc. Its all jsut a way for them to inflict harm. I dont think you understand how incredibly cruel other players can be to other men. Xbox LIVE is so bad i will never go on it again. Yes women get assaulted online, BUT SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE. Mean people will be mean to anyone, and its only their personal flavor of venom that differentiates their victims.
You are fucking retarded if you dont think the world beats on EVERYONE. Im a straight white male and ive chased for being too white, wearing glasses, being nerdy etc. I have been subjected to ALOT of black-on-white racism as well. People are mean to other people, period.
Ignorance of the law is not an excuse, because its EXPEDIENT, not morally righteous. Every time you say that phrase, you expose a huge moral problem with law.
Men are treated jsut as bad as the girls. Stop perpetuating the myth that women are persecuted more online then men. Girls are more sensitive about it, but i have been called things by other men online that would give ANY human pause. It might take different forms, but the hate goes everywhere.
Men get told 'you have no right ot play the game ' ALL THE TIME. I have had my manhood questioned a million times, been called every name inthe book and made to feel like shit by other online players. IM so sick of women dropping into the online cesspool and thinking they are somehow subject to more abuse just because they have a vagina. People are mean to EVERYONE.
When I tire of humanity and its slings and arrows, im labeled anti-social. When Gays do it, its because they are persecuted and we should all be more understanding of the plight of the gays.
You can make them removable by soldering snap buttons onto the pads and sewing the backs into the fabric. You wire it up using stainless steel conductive thread. Here is an example: http://learn.adafruit.com/flora-snaps
An i5 at i7 speeds is not the same thing as a real i7. An i7 1155 is not the same thing as an i7 socket 2011. When you buy a $150 processor and OC it, you arent getting an $800 processor, nor are you gaining $650 in value. Its a fools game that was figured out a long time ago by intel and 'gaming' companies. The intel K procesors are perfectly positioned for suckers to buy them and think they are getting away with something. OCing mattered when we had Celeron 300As, it doesnt matter now outside of select use cases. If you are going to OC, start with an i7 at least, otherwise you are just masturbating.

Mac mini can hold 2 hard drives, the newest ones have SSD caching as well. My 2011 mac mini has a dual core i5 and 16 GB of ram and it runs win7 just fine. If you want a machine like a mac mini, you are going to have to buy a mac mini, because NO ONE else makes anything close to it. You could go with the Antec ISK, but it takes a bit of skill and patience.
Yep. Intel NUC is overpriced, underpowered and spec'd badly. I really wanted to like it, as it would be perfect in my wiring closet, but IM not paying $300 for a gimped barebones that has overheat issues and no power cord. For what it would cost me to build a NUC i could jsut as easily build another i5 powered Antec 310-150. Sure its a bit bigger, but its vastly more flexible and powerful.
OC = no point for the average PC user. OCing is for when you cant add anymore power with money. IN the last 10 years i have met 2 people who do things that actually make OCing a viable exercise. Everyone else is just burning out their chips for few real gains.
Because the other side isnt constantly moving to goal posts? IMHO any work that doesnt fall back into the public domain as the law was written when the work was created is FRAUD. Save your righteousness for people who deserve it.
One thing people are going to have to get over is that you shouldnt use your Steambox as a full workstation PC, thats a fools game if you want anything resembling a console experience. Hardware is cheap enough now to build dedicated Steamboxes if you want a 'console' like machine. Consoles are an exercise in compromise, keep that in mind when deploying a living room entertainment PC.

My HP 1102w works great with my mac and every other device in the house. Didnt even have to install drivers and no pop-ups, ever
They already have a shorter range 'Kinect' for PCs

All humans are persecuted to various degrees, gays dont have a special license here.

OCing is not a 'free' upgrade. You pay for it in longevity, stability and reliability.

How about a Ford car? Henry Ford was outright evil. Ever play a record or use a light bulb? Edison was evil as well.
